Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup polenta, fine grind
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
3/4 cups sweet unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup almond paste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • In a mixer, on medium speed, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup of the sugar and beat until pale and fluffy Add almond paste and beat again. Blend in vanilla and almond extracts, then beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, being sure that each is mixed in before the next is added.

THE MOST ADAPTABLE ONE-BOWL CORNMEAL POUNDCAKE



The Most Adaptable One-Bowl Cornmeal Poundcake image

Is it cake time yet? Cake is comforting in a way that a tart or cookies are not, and this is especially true of loaf cakes, which you can convince yourself is just like bread. Slices of it fit in the toaster, so really, what's the difference? This citrus-scented cornmeal number is endlessly adaptable - use whatever fat you have on hand, dairy or light, bright flavoring you have on hand - and requires just one bowl. It's wonderful in slices, but extra nice toasted and buttered for breakfast.

Time 1h

Yield 1 (9-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
An orange, lime or lemon (optional)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters liquid fat (olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, melted butter, whatever you've got)
2 eggs
1/2 cup/120 milliliters plain yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream, or 1/2 cup whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice
A dash of vanilla or almond extract, or use brandy (optional)
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup/60 grams cornmeal
1 1/4 cup/160 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan. (Or grease and line it with parchment.)
  • In a big bowl, add the sugar, and grate the zest from the orange, lemon or lime into the bowl. If you need a little aromatherapy, work the zest into the sugar with your fingers. (This technique is supposed to infuse the citrus into the sugar.)
  • Add the fat, eggs, and yogurt to the bowl, along with the extract and nutmeg, if you like.
  • Whisk in the salt, baking soda, baking powder and cornmeal. Once smooth, whisk in flour.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Let it (mostly) cool in the pan. Then slice off a thick piece, butter it and let yourself be soothed.

Tips for Making Cornmeal Poundcake with Fresh Berries:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and result in a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the cake is not done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal poundcake with fresh berries is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite berries. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
